Introduction: The King of Gaming, 3D V-Cache AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology has been hailed as the “king of gaming performance” since its initial release. This technology, which vertically stacks L3 cache on top of the CPU die, expanding it from 384MB to up to 1,152MB, is precisely optimized for the random data access patterns prevalent in gaming. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D achieves a 54% FPS improvement in Baldur’s Gate 3 and a 37% improvement in Starfield compared to the standard 9950X. It also offers a 15% gaming performance boost over its predecessor, the 7950X3D. This is not merely a “slightly faster” improvement but a generational leap. ...

Recently, the market landscape of the artificial intelligence (AI) industry can be described as a history of one company’s monopoly and the challenges against it. While Nvidia established itself as the exclusive “high-speed data highway” of the AI era, UALink (Ultra Accelerator Link) technology, created through the collaboration of major IT companies including AMD, is gradually gaining prominence. In the second half of 2025, a large-scale investment from OpenAI is transforming this technology from a simple open standard into the seed of an ‘industrial transformation.’ Today, we will delve deep into what UALink technology is, why it has been difficult to break Nvidia’s monopoly until now, and why OpenAI’s move is a signal that will shake the market. ...

Can AMD Emerge as a New Powerhouse in the AI Market? AMD’s recent Q2 2025 earnings clearly demonstrated its growth potential in the AI market. Revenue surged by 32% year-over-year to $7.69 billion, surpassing market expectations. This success was driven by the strong performance of EPYC CPUs in the data center segment and Zen 5 processors in the client segment. Notably, as mass production of the MI300 series—a key player in the AI accelerator market—begins, the competition with NVIDIA is entering a new phase. ...
